Local transportation system plans

Oregon law requires cities and counties in the region to update their local transportation system plans to be consistent with the Regional Transportation Plan. Policies and investments in the plan aim to make the most of past investments, enhance mobility, and increase access to jobs, services, schools and recreational opportunities for everyone.

Examples of local plans

Requests for extensions for compliance with or exemptions from Regional Transportation Functional Plan compliance deadlines, as authorized in Title 6 of the plan, must be filed with Metro’s chief operating officer.

Development of the 2035 Regional Transportation Plan plan was a multi-year collaborative effort. Metro worked closely with many people, local governments, businesses, community and environmental groups, TriMet, the state and other partners to shape its guidelines.
